ola.hallengren - Alternative MySQL scripts!

Question

Having worked with MS SQL for many years and found ola.hallengren scripts incredibly useful - I find my self in a MySQL environment.

Is there a MySQL alternative to ola.hallengren? - Perhaps someone has created a batch of scripts to show worst performing queries, re-indexing jobs etc that is popular in the area of Database optimisation, maintenance etc.

I've reviewed Optimize a MySQL Database using MySQL Workbench - Although useful, doesn't quite give me the flexibility of what I need - that Ola answers with there scripts.
